题目内容
The sea has always interested man. From it he can get food,minerals,and treasure. For thousands of years,he could sail on it. But he could not go far beneath its surface.
Man wants to explore deep into the sea. However,he is not a fish. He must breathe air,so he can't stay under the water's surface for any length of time. To explore deep water,man faces even more dangers and problems.
A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases. He can wear a diving suit and have air pumped to him from above. He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a nose and a mouthpiece. Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Too much water pushes against a diver deep in the sea. His body is under great pressure.
When a diver is under great pressure,his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes. As he rises to the surface,the water pressure becomes less. If the diver rises too quickly,the gases in his blood form bubbles. The diver is then suffering from the bends.The bends can cause a diver to double up in pain. They can even kill him.

A. special mixtures of gases in the deep sea

D. the air in the sea water will kill a diver if he is not careful
[文章大意]自古以来,海洋丰富的资源一直吸引着人类。然而,从事深水潜水探索却不是一件轻松的工作。本文向我们介绍的就是深水潜水员所面临的困难和挑战。
1. B主旨大意题。由文章结构可以看出,文章首先点明了海洋对人类的重大意义,然后提出了文章要说明的主题:To explore deep water,man faces even more dangers and prob?lems.
2. A细节理解题。由第三段的最后一句"His body is under great pressure."可知答案为A.
3. A推理判断题。最后一段告诉我们,潜水员在深水里要承受巨大的压力,浮到水面时,水压骤减,这对人体来说是很大的挑战。由此可以推断,从事深海潜水工作的人的身体条件一定很好。
4. B推理判断题。从文章内容可知,人在深海潜水时,会面临很多困难与挑战。所以人在深海是很不舒适的。at home在这里是"舒服,自在"的意思。
